Summary : Written for the Primeval100 challenge 359, “You’re Needed Here.”

Nick Cutter was a man who rarely evinced surprise, despite the sometimes startled appearance of his hair, but he certainly looked surprised now.

“You can’t do this!” Nick brandished the note Stephen had just given him. “You’re needed here.”

Stephen turned to leave. There was no point in arguing.

“Stephen! We need to talk…”

“The time for talking was eight years ago. But I missed that particular boat.”

“We can change things…”

“As you keep saying, Cutter, we can’t change the past. You know that as well as I do.”

But Stephen wished with all his heart that they could.

Poor both of them, though that would have been a far less traumatic (and final!) exit for Stephen.

Cutter needs to smack Stephen upside the head.
The past can't be changed, but the future can.
*harrumphs*

*g* Stubborn men!

Waaah! So understandable of Stephen, but... but... he has to stay! *wails*

Eeeek! But at least that has given Nick a wake-up call and he has realised and saying that he doesn't want Stephen to leave!

Hee re Nick's hair.

So angsty - Stephen admitting his faults and resigned to what he thinks is the inevitable, but Cutter is very stubborn and I'm sure that a moment later Nick tackles him and firmly convinces him that they can work things out

“As you keep saying, Cutter, we can’t change the past."

Those words really hurt here. What could Nick say to that? *sniffles*

Can't be easy for either of them.

Poor guys - but Stephen's right you can't change the past. *g* Love Nick's startled hair!

It might be the impetus he needs to properly sort things out!

Poor boys. But it might have been better in the long run.
